Figure 1 is an elevation, partly in section, as to separate the cutters 0 when the awl de- 5 of the lower portion of the machine, showing scends and to close the cutters together after a l through wlnch extends a transverse member 1/, carried by a vertically-reciprocating rod JP. The reciprocating movement of the said rod d is provided for by means of'cam-actuating devices or rockers d", Fig. 1, which are connected with the depressing-yoke a and operated by means of a link d", connected with one end of an elbow-lever (Z pivoted in the frame A, the other end of said lever being connected, by means of a rod d, with actuating mechanism in the head of the machine. The actuating mechanism for the rod (Z is sul stantially the same as that shown and described in an application for Letters Patent of the 'United States liled March 24:, 1900, Serial No. 10,020, by Ronald F. McFeely, and forms no part of the present invention, the only difference being that the cam-surfaces are reversed, since the rod (Z extends directly to the cutters and causes the cutting operation by its downward movement instead of by its upward movement, as in the construction shown in the TvIcFeely application, where there is an intermediate connection.

The transverse member (Z aforesaid extends across from one member to the other of a forked slide (Z Fig. 2, connected to the end of the rod (Z the said slide having a suitable bearing in the upper portion of the horn (a, which bearing is herein shown as a vertical channel cut in the said born. The slide (Z is held in position by means of a plate (Z secured to the horn, as by screws d, thus holding the parts securely in position without preventing the ready removal thereof for repairs. At the upper portion of the plate (Z is a small supporting-socket for one end of the member which affords the inner bearing for the cutter-jaws 0 The overlapping shanks of the cutter-jaws extend between the forked members of the slide (Z the whole mechanism thus being compact and at the same time properly held in position. The horn top or cover 7) is provided with an opening .71 in line with the awl when the said awl is performing its operative stroke, so that the awl can penetrate the material and pass through the said opening without injuring the horn-top or worksupporting surface. Below the said opening the said top is provided with a channel V, Fig.

6, substantially equal in width to the width of the cutters c, which lit in the said channelof a tongue 7/, which fits a corresponding channel at the top of the horn.

ln order that the awl may descend when the K cutter-jaws are separated without interfering with the said cutter-jaws, the latter are shown as oli'set at their upper ends, as best indicated in Figs. 2 and 8, so that while the cutter-blades c themselves are directly below the opening 71 the jaw-shanks c are in front of the said opening and out of alinement with the awl, which can thus descend the required distance without striking or injuring any part of the mechanism.

The coverplate (Z does not extend wholly to the top of the horn, so that a lateral opening is left below the opening 7), through which opening the severed peg-tips are free to drop out, the surface of the plate (Z being scooped out or beveled, as shown at d, to allord a deflecting-surface for the peg ends.

As herein shown, the horn is open at the back for some distance, so that the parts within the same may be readily accessible, the opening being closed after the machine is assembled by means of a plate a.

It is to be understood that the term pegging-machine as hereinbefore used is intended to include mechanism for driving fastenings of any kind or material, and, further, that it is not intended to limit the invention to the specific construction and arrangement herein shown and described, since modifications may be made without departing from the invention.

I claim 1. In a pegging-machine, the combination with the awl; of a substantially straight horn in alinement with the awl and having an opening at the top for the awl; and a cutting device operating in said horn and havinga main portion out of the path of the awl and a cutting portion projecting toward the opening and into the path of the awl, as set forth.

2. In a pegging-machine, the combination with the awl; of a substantially straight horn in alinement therewith; a cutting device comprising a jaw having a pivotal support in the top of the said horn, said support projecting toward but not into the path of the awl; and a cutting-blade carried by said jaw and projecting into the path of the awl.

3. In a pegging-machine the combination with a straight horn; of an awl in alinement therewith; a top or cover having an opening for the awl near one edge; a cutting device below said cover and having a pivotal support which projects toward, but not into, the path of the awl; and a cutting portion of said device projecting beyond the end of the support toward the opening.

t. In a pegging-machine, the combination with a straight horn; of a top or cover provided with an opening for the awl, a cutting device transversely movable below said opening; and an oscillating shank for said cutting device offset with relation thereto and having a pivotal support projecting toward but not into the path of the awl.

5. The combination with the straight horn; of cutter-jaws mounted to oscillate within the said born, the said cutter-jaws having their ends inclined or ofiset with relation to their bearing portions; cutters mounted on the tops of said jaws; a horn top or cover having a channel for the said cutters; an opening for the awl above the said channel; and a pivotal support for said jaws projecting toward but not into the path of the awl.

6. The combination with the straight horn JOHN F.- DAVEY.
